Revolutionizing the way money works.

Launching in the Philippines in 2020.

About TONIK

TONIK is a transformative digital bank on a mission to revolutionize the way money works in Southeast Asia.

We are addressing the US$140 billion retail deposit and US$100 billion unsecured retail lending opportunities in the Philippines. We believe the existing Filipino banking customers and the 70% of the Filipinos that remain unbanked deserve a better choice - a digital-only bank that is simple, not intimidating, helps them save, all at the click of a button.

As the world leader in internet and social media usage, we believe Philippines is ripe for becoming a world leader in digital banking too. We plan to make it happen.

We are the first digital-only bank in Southeast Asia. We provide retail financial products, including deposits, loans, current accounts, payments, and cards on a highly secure digital banking platform.

Innovation is woven into the DNA of our company. We put customers first. We challenge the status quo. We are relentless. We are passionate about improving people's financial lives through the use of technology.

How are we redefining money?

TONIK is focused on providing simple consumer payment, savings, and borrowing solutions, delivered through a smartphone. Our products fit seamlessly into the lifestyle of our customers and improve the quality of their lives. Unlike traditional banks, we use technology to completely reinvent the banking experience for our customers.

I want to open a bank account without
leaving my sofa.

I don't need a savings account. What I need
is a bank with tools that help me and my
family save.

I don't need a loan. What I need is fast and painless access to additional money whenever I need it.
